Course Purpose and Overview
Welcome to Nutrition Through the Life Cycle (formerly Family and Community Nutrition). I hope you will
find this to be an interesting course that provides you with knowledge and practical skills that are
relevant to your life and career. Our nutritional needs and the factors that influence our food choices
and patterns vary across our life cycle. This course will help you to understand how various individual,
interpersonal, and environmental factors influence nutritional needs and overall dietary intake
throughout the life cycle and how this influences patient care and community-level programs.

Assignments
Specific information regarding the assignments is available on Courselink. Assignments must be
submitted online using the Dropbox function of Courselink and are due by 11:59 pm on their deadline
date. However, it is recommended that you submit your assignments early so there is sufficient time to
work through any technical problems, should they arise. Technical support for Courselink is available
each weekday only until 4:30 pm. Assignment 1, the Diet Analysis Report, is due November 5, 2018 and
the final online discussion report for Assignment 2 is due November 26, 2018.
Late Assignments:
Late assignments will be accepted up to 5 days following the due date and will receive a penalty of 10%
per day EXCEPT under documented grounds for compassionate consideration. Assignments submitted
more than one week late without documented grounds will receive a grade of zero. If you are going to
hand an assignment in late, you must contact your course instructor to inform them when you will be
submitting your assignment.
Receipt of Grades:
After you receive a grade on CourseLink, please review your feedback. Any inquiry or dispute over the
grade must be made within two weeks from the date they are posted. If you fail to protest any grade
during this time limit, changes to the grade will not be considered. Grades will be based on the Grading
Procedures outlined in the Undergraduate Calendar.
Turnitin Software:
In this course, your instructor will be using Turnitin, integrated with the CourseLink Dropbox tool, to
detect possible plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration or copying as part of the ongoing efforts to
maintain academic integrity at the University of Guelph.
All submitted assignments will be included as source documents in the Turnitin.com reference database
solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism of such papers. Use of the Turnitin.com service is subject
to the Usage Policy posted on the Turnitin.com site.
A major benefit of using Turnitin is that students will be able to educate and empower themselves in
preventing academic misconduct. In this course, you may screen your own assignments through Turnitin
as many times as you wish before the due date. You will be able to see and print reports that show you
exactly where you have properly and improperly referenced the outside sources and materials in your
assignment.
